a) The point symmetric with respect to the x-axis is the point itself $(4,0)$ b) The point symmetric with respect to the y-axis is $(-4,0)$ c) The point symmetric with respect to the origin is also $(-4,0)$

The point on the graph is $(4,0)$ The symmetric points can be found on the graph by following the rules in the book: Symmetric with respect to the x-axis: if the point $(x,y)$ is on the graph then $(x,-y)$ is also on the graph. Symmetric with respect to the y-axis: if the point $(x,y)$ is on the graph then $(-x,y)$ is also on the graph. Symmetric with respect to the origin: if the point $(x,y)$ is on the graph then $(-x,-y)$ is also on the graph. Furthermore, the graph can be used as a proof of these statements. a) The point symmetric with respect to the x-axis is the point itself $(4,0)$ b) The point symmetric with respect to the y-axis is $(-4,0)$ c) The point symmetric with respect to the origin is also $(-4,0)$
